The new Retribution, and hints at the future expansion

So we are on the verge of the next patch, and I have new revisions, and new thoughts after actually being able to play on the PTR. First of all, I LOVE my new charger, I also made it to the WoWHead database, see here. Anyway, moving on to actual mechanics.

First on the list, I have to point out the things in my last post that were proven wrong after some testing.

Righteous Fury: Probably bugged as of this last PTR build, the tooltip shows that it has no mana cost, sadly, it still does. So atm, no free six percent damage reduction.
Vindication: Actually a very useful talent at the moment, where as I said otherwise in my last post. Sadly, I think this talent will be almost useless come late season seven or early season eight, seeing as it won't scale, besides (what I think) with level increase.
Art of War: This procs off Judgement as well.

Now to talk about some fixes in the new PTR build. Well, there were really only two. The Crusader Strike previously was still costing the same amount of mana as it does on live. This was causing minor mana issues, this is has been fixed, now it's only five percent base mana, which helps out greatly. Also, thankfully, they fixed the proc on Seal of Command to proc off of Divine Storm. This helped out with the DPS on the seal.

So far, testing has been great, and I have been enjoying the new ret. It still is bursty, but not to the degree of killing people in a Hammer at fifty percent. The survivability has gone up considerably however. With the new resilience change, and the change to sacred shield, we are living longer, and fitting more into the defensive hybrid we are supposed to be. To be totally honest, I'm quite glad that I'm not getting destroyed by full twenty-five man Naxx, or Hateful Glad. geared Death Knights, other Ret Paladins, and Rogues, just because my resilience doesn't seem to matter.

I'll have some videos as soon as I can, at the moment however, I seem to be lagging worse on the PTR than live. Remember, on live, I'm running a completely overhauled UI, whilst on the PTR, I have no addons. Who knows.

Oh and on another note, seems like we might be seeing a third expansion to be announced on Blizzcon. Want to know more? Click me!

Until my next post, get on the PTR and find me, I was posted as Sunstrikesc, but now it's Sunstriker.
